When You Get Left
when you get left
you get nothing at all
makes you feel small
makes want to curl up –
into the tightest ball
you get nothing at all –
when you are left –
high up on the shelf
leaves you low
when you get left
no one will ever know
that’s how it feels
because all that i have –
is what i have saved –
from my last grave
and brought forth into this
all that i have gave
is always human made
James Garratt – October 1997
